<p>Everyone should have a safe and suitable home to live; having somewhere to live
gives people a stable platform from which to access health services, hold down a job
and reduces the likelihood of them reoffending.</p><p>The Government published its
Rough Sleeping Strategy in August 2018, launching a £100 million</p><p>initiative
to reduce and ultimately eliminate rough sleeping across England. As part of this</p><p>strategy,
Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government</p><p>(MHCLG),
will be investing approximately £6m in a pilot scheme to support ex-offenders secure</p><p>suitable
accommodation upon release; the pilots will operate in HMPs Pentonville, Bristol and</p><p>
</p><p>Staff in both National Probation Service and Community Rehabilitation Companies
work together with local authorities and other providers of accommodation with the
aim of ensuring all offenders under our supervision have accommodation especially
when they are released from prison.</p><p> </p><p>The table below provides data on
the number of prisoners that declared their accommodation status as of ‘No Fixed Abode’
on their reception into custody in each prison in each year since 2010. The data for
2014 is not held.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>PRISONS</strong></p></td><td

</p><p><em>Notes</em></p><p>1) The Basic Custody Screening Tool (BCS) is completed
on entry to custody for all prisoners for each calendar year 2015-2018. It therefore
will include a mix of those received into custody on remand and those sentenced from
court. Using just the BCS, there is no way to determine which of those received into
custody on remand were released un-convicted, therefore it is important to stress
that this data covers prisoners, and can’t be used to describe offenders, as some
of those counted will ultimately not have been found guilty of any offence.</p><p>2)
NFA on reception is determined where the answer to question B3.1 OR B3.4 on the BCS
has been answered as ‘NFA’. If B3.1 is answered NFA then B3.4 isn’t made available
to be answered, so it is not possible to double count NFA within the same BCS.</p><p>3)
The two questions are: B3.1 – What was your accommodation status before prison &
B3.4 – What type of housing did you live in before you came to prison</p><p>4) These
questions from the BCS Part 1 are recorded as per the prisoner’s answers and are not
assessed.</p><p>5) The total number of prisoners shown is for the number of fully
completed BCS Part 1s for each year, based on the Reception Date for each prisoner.</p><p>6)
A proportion of prisoners will enter custody multiple times each year and for this
PQ all responses have been included as a prisoner may provide different answers to
these questions over time.</p><p>The figures have not been checked by statistician</p>
